I tried to re-tell the story of the rise and fall of Mike from Broke Straight Boys as best as my recollection allows, so if any of the facts are incorrect I apologize, but in retrospect I do not blame David.
I was one of Mike's biggest fans and supporters, and I defended him on the forum when the "masses" were crying for his dismissal due to his refusing to "reinvent" himself. I have no problem with a guy remaining true to his own beliefs and desires, and agree that he was an excellent top, who was wonderful for me to watch, but the negativity that he was receiving on the forum and perhaps in other ways that David and Mark evaluated performers perhaps forced their hand.
Mike also appeared to let himself go towards the end of his Broke Straight Boys career, physically as perhaps other issues in his life affected his grooming and physical appearance. I participated on David's new site for a few months around it's launch and was fascinated to see that Mike Robbins filmed one last scene there, (perhaps very close to his death), and he hardly looked like the fresh faced, enthusiastic kid that we had met only a few years before that on Broke Straight Boys From everything I've read, both David and Eddie truly loved Mike, and the fact that David brought him back to give him more work indicates that affection and loyalty.
I am so glad that we have the archives available to us here to watch Mike Robbins, (albeit under the ridiculous name of Mike Jones in the "boys" search), and we can enjoy the youthful beauty and enthusiasm that young Mike brought to all of his scenes on Broke Straight Boys RIP Mike Robbins, and thank you for being an unforgettable entertaining performer on the site and contributor on the forum.

FAO Broke Straight Boys - Please please change Mike's surnames to Robbins, purely out of respect for the guy.
